Title: ED.D. Orientation Week
Authors: MacIsaac, Peggy Lynn
Abstract: Orientation Week for the Doctorate of Education in Distance Education students is a workshop focusing on instruction, distance education theory, program planning, discussions with faculty and colleagues, community-building activities, and technology-related tutorials.
Description: This in-person workshop was pivotal in initiating the development the community of distance education learners into a highly functional cohort. It provided me with an introduction to the various personal responses to graduate level study undertaken at a distance. The workshop furthered my knowledge of recent research conducted by AU faculty members. The information and ideas will be invaluable to my continued expansion of understanding of AU’s position in the historic context and contemporary practices within the field of distance education. This opportunity allows me to improve my delivery of services to AU learners and researchers.
